Learn something new last night early 460 with externally balanced crank uses a small counter weight and also another sleeve is used but not sure if it suits internal balance I'm still working that one out Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

$30 as too $100 for new Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I scored locally a set of head bolts 429/460 and there is 2 lengths and chunky 9/16 as to the clevo ones Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Yes all those blocks were dipped in that red stuff to stop corrosion b4 sending out and there is your proof still can see the red oxide,lately have also seen many like that one still in the ford cardboard box on temeyer clevo/400 site. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Interesting note some are advertising STD length push rods as 8.550 STD clevo length and some 8.6ish I'm trying to find out the correct length Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I didn't buy the media because the guy at trade tools said your compressor is to small so I just tided the manifold up a tad and Tuesday will take it too the pro's,I will get em to blast the bare heads too so I can have something to do,1973 cast on the manifold yet D4 at the front.

I got the sump blasted and painted it up,also unbolted all the acc of the manifold and got it ready for blasting Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Hey your right I sprayed it with wd and now it's 50 shades of grey darker Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I got the crank back from sandblasting it's clean ,but is it OK to leave it that raw colour or ?next is to have it machined Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Yeah you can forget putting a spider in there Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

All done and what is this bridge thing with 2 bolts ? Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I had to buy a 9/16_12 tap to clean up the head bolt holes I had all the other sizes as I have collected a lot of special ford tools over the years. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I will take it down to the machine shop and get him to take out the old cam bearings and hot tank it,plus dip it in a rust solution tank made of citrus or something as that will clean it up even better . Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

You wouldn't think it's the same block after I spent all day on it ,turns out it is STD bore with plenty of ware 4.374 is the largest bore so she has done a lot of miles Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Just looking at stroker cranks and stroke kits to 545 c.i. there is a million different kits available it's very confusing,seems about $2500 is the cheapest version with 4.500 stroke,but you get everything. 545 c.i is the biggest a STD block can take it seems Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

I just google it and some say don't get it bead blasted cause bits of glass might stay in there but surely you would wash the crank several times b4 final assembly I think sand blasting will be fine Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

The 2nd crank is STD as well but it's a 2yabc.i also lightly sand blasted a bit just to see if it's worth it and it came up ok Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Knowing full well these cranks are farked unless throw $350 at em each to clean up I just needed to see what size they were and there might be some hope for this one it's STD mains 3.000 and 2.500 rod so maybe a 20/20 would clean up nice once the rust is gone.i see it says 2yab Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Exhaust side is choked with a hump but inlet side is massive,same as manifold,I also wire brushed the mains on both cranks just to get a idea on size and the both measure up at around 3.000 which is the STD size I haven't checked the big ends yet but guessing it's STD. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

After a few hrs using power tools sanding off surface rust it's starting to look ok,also 2 cranks,1 cover,1 broken timing cover and a factory sump,when homeboy dropped it off this morning I said hey where is the main caps ? He said fark I left em at home with other stuff to go with it but all is good he is coming down from Toowoomba in 3 weeks time. Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

Seems to be 1973 cast manifold n heads but can't find a date on the block yet Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

The 460 is here and it's a nice rusty block ect lol,strange it don't have any lip on the bore Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk

So do I put it in cleveland or Windsor section I think it has bits of both engines in its DNA ? Sent from my SM-A125F using Tapatalk
